"Shocking from start to finish. Fancied a Friday night take away, ordered our dishes at 18:15, quoted 50 minutes delivery time, brilliant, nice and early in time to relax for the rest of the night after a busy week at work. 50 minutes pass, still no sign, gave it till 19:25 before calling the restaurant, phone answered quickly by a blunt man, I simply explained we’d ordered at 18:15, that I’d had an email confirming it was out for delivery by 18:50 and I was merely checking if it was actually on its way… ‘your order is on its way, it’s being delivered with 7 other orders’ alarm bells ring for me immediately, I ask will it be hot? Yes, he then hung up. Which I thought was very rude. A further 20 minutes tick on by, by this point we’re absolutely starving and the hanger is kicking in but non the less I call the restaurant again and was extremely polite despite the way the staff member was biting my head off, I explained I didn’t want cold food and if I’d have known the wait time was this long I wouldn’t have ordered from there. “I’ll cook your food fresh now bring it myself” he said, thank you I really appreciate that. 45 more minutes tick on by, the doorbell goes off, I open the door get a bag shoved into me and off he stomps down my driveway, not even an apology or hello. I take the 20 steps it takes to walk from my hallway to my kitchen, open the bag and food containers to be greeted with stone cold food. Absolutely livid by this point, I call the restaurant again, the manger starts to argue with me instead of listening with me and understanding the situation, he calls me a liar, insists the foods fresh (it was Luke warm at best! and proceeds to shout down the phone, I tell him I would like a refund, explain why and he then tells me he’ll do it now and I’ll get an email, I ask when can I expect the email, he said I don’t know, soon if you’ve not got it you can come in tomorrow for it, then in the next breath he demands that I take the food back to the restaurant if I want a refund, I explained that I’m not prepared to go out of my way to get a refund for something that isn’t my fault. He kicks off again, so I took him up on this opportunity to go into the restaurant hand him the food back in front of his dining customers. Totally and utterly disgusting service, food quality was awful to boot. Sort yourselves out and learn how to speak to people, arguing with customers will get you nowhere in business."

"We've tried quite a, few of the dishes on the menu in the last month and ALL have been equally delicious and none have been below par.The soup is usually excellent. The pate is flavoursome and not too smooth. The prawns are amazing. Equally the cajun chicken goujons is a good size and fills the spot.Recommended from the mains are the fried chicken special the southern fried and salt and pepper are spiced cooked perfectly. The large gammon is fantastic value and plenty big enough. The homemade cheese and onion pie is tasty and the pastry is superb. The beer battered haddock is absolutely phenomenal. Crispy and huge again excellent value. Another hearty favourite is the chilli with rice and chips spiced just perfectly. My ultimate favourite is the cajun chicken salad main which is the best I have ever eaten, anywhere.We don't often eat a pudding but the salted caramel ice cream is delicious.Preferred drinks are Warsteiner and Fosters which are kept and served by the Landlord to the highest possible standards.The place is spotless. Modern. Comfy seating. A real village pub. Welcoming and friendly staff. Outside eating and inside are both covid observed and a pleasant atmosphere.It's very reasonable in price and cheaper than other pubs/restaurants locally. Their food really is delicious and I have never seen or heard a single customer complain in the slightest. Very good for family meals and they have a beer garden and a marque. Creative specials board and I think it was venison burger, beer braised steak or gammon which all sound tempting. Top tip ring and book ahead it can get fully booked it's that good"
